In addition, this document does not describe that 3-(dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline compounds have a fungicidal effect against soil diseases by soil-drenching treatment and it has not been known that 3-(dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline compounds can be used as a preventing agent against soil diseases.

Further, this document does not describe use of 3-(dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline compounds as a seed treating agent and it has not been known that 3-(dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline compounds can be used as a seed treating agent.

Compounds (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) of the present invention are publicly known compounds, and are manufactured, for example, in accordance with methods disclosed in the pamphlet of International Publication WO 2005/070917 or method similar to them.

Compounds (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) of the present invention are useful as a soil treating agent or a seed treating agent against various plant pathogens in agriculture and horticulture. For example, as the soil treating agent or as the seed treating agent, they show superior precautionary and/or preventive effects against diseases caused by various plant pathogens in agriculture and horticulture. They show superior preventive effects against various diseases, including for example rice blast, Bakanae disease of rice, Fusarium blight and seedling blight of wheat, Rhizoctonia seedling blight and Pythium damping-off of cucumber, Fusarium wilt of cucumber, damping-off or Fusarium wilt of tomato. Since the compounds of the present invention show superior preventive (precautionary) effects, they can prevent diseases by treatment before infection.

In the present invention, soil treatment means spraying on soil surface, injecting into soil, drenching into soil or mixing into soil, a composition comprising compounds of the present invention as an active ingredient. By treating soil by a composition comprising compounds of the present invention as an active ingredient, plants can be protected from pathogens of soil infection and aerial infection. Spraying on soil surface, drenching into soil and mixing into soil can be conducted from before or at sowing times throughout the growth of plants.

In the present invention, seed treatment means treating seeds by spraying a composition comprising compounds of the present invention as an active ingredient on plant seeds, treating seeds by coating a composition comprising compounds of the present invention as an active ingredient on plant seeds, treating seeds by dipping plant seeds into a composition comprising compounds of the present invention as an active ingredient or treating seeds by dust-coating a composition comprising compounds of the present invention as an active ingredient. By treating seeds with a composition comprising compounds of the present invention as an active ingredient, it is expected that preventive effects of seeds against pathogens adhered to seed surface and against pathogens that inherently infects inside seeds, and preventive effects of disease onsets against pathogen (soil pathogens etc.), onsets of which being observed after sowing, can be obtained.

An amount of applications and concentration of applications may vary depending on intended crops, intended diseases, degree of disease, drug forms of the compound, methods of applications and various environmental conditions. In a case where seeds are disinfected, an amount of compounds of the present invention used is usually 0.001 to 50 g per kg of seeds, preferably 0.01 to 10 g per kg. In a case of treating soil, an amount of compounds of the present invention used is usually 20 to 20,000 g per ha, preferably 100 to 10,000 g per ha. In a case where soil is treated by spraying on its surface, treated by injecting into it or treated by drenching into it, treating can be conducted using a composition comprising compounds of the present invention itself, or after diluting the composition to a desirable concentration. In a case where a composition comprising compounds of the present invention is made to come into contact with plant seeds, the plant seeds may be immersed into the agent as it is. In addition, a composition comprising compounds of the present invention may be used as itself or after it is diluted to a desirable concentration, by dipping into plant seeds, or dust-coating, spraying or coating plant seeds with the composition. In a case where seeds are treated by dust-coating, spraying or coating, an amount of the composition used (content of compounds of the present invention is 10 w/w % to 70 w/w %) is usually approximately 0.05 to approximately 50% per the weight of dry plant seeds, preferably 0.1 to 30%, and such amounts used are not limited within the range, and shall differ depending on forms of formulations and types of plant seeds as treatment subjects.
